Early Career Masterclass

International expert on doctoral research, Hugh Kearns from Thinkwell at Flinders University will run this workshop. The workshop is offered as part of the Innovative Research Universities (IRU) Highly Effective Researcher Program (HERP).

This masterclass involves small group coaching designed to help ECRs or post docs set a research goal (generally in the form of a publication/s) and then work with them to make sure they achieve it.

The workshop will deal with issues on an individual and as-needed basis but is likely to cover the things that impact on publication output such as:

• Workload.
• Competing demands.
• Prioritising papers.
• Perfectionism, overcommitting and procrastination.
• Identifying the next most important step in order to make progress.
• Being strategic.
• Team writing.
• Managing co-authors.
